  1. I personally think Skoronski is going to be the pick. Start him at guard this year, then kick him out to LT in 2024 when Bahk is gone. You have a top notch LT for the next decade.
  2. Tom may be solid in time, but needs to add strength to be a starting NFL tackle. Jones and Walker are big time projects. Just saying ... I don't know if I personally would advocate for it, but knowing how this team operates, it wouldn't surprise me whatsoever if tackle is the pick at #13. It's gonna piss off a lot of fans, but in the end, it's hard to argue with replenishing talent in the trenches. Pete Skoronski is the type of guy you can throw out at LT and forget about for the next decade.
  3. He's just the latest WR that Packers Twitter has fallen in love with. I've seen how this movie ends. Typically its with an OT or DT/DE at #13, and Packers Twitter throwing fits. But the big guy is almost always the better choice.
  4. They are very thin at tackle as well. All indications are that Bahk is gone after this year, and Yosh is an UFA. Maybe one of the developmental guys works out, but I'd like to see more of a sure thing. I know they have had luck with mid-round guys in the past, but if one of those blue-chippers is there, they have to consider it.
  5. Drafting a WR in the 1st round three days after trading your franchise cornerstone QB would be either simply delicious irony, or a tremendous troll job by Gute on the armchair GM porton of this fanbase.
  6. If it gets to that point, their season has already turned into a dumpster fire. But knowing the Jets media and fanbase, that is a topic that will most definitely come up.
  7. I think it's important to note that it's the Patriots who the Packers jumped going from #15 to #13. The Patriots are a well-run organization, and seem to more often than not have many of the same draft "needs" that the Packers typically do year-to-year. And right now, the Patriots biggest draft needs are WR at tackle ... two spots where it can be assumed the Packers are also looking at with #13. If a WR like Jaxon Smith-Njigba or a tackle like Paris Johnson, Broderick Jones or Peter Skoronski are there, they could very well be the pick. Bahktiari is likely gone after this year.
  8. Best case scenario for the Packers is for Rodgers to basically be an iron man (which wouldn't be surprising), but also show his age and have the team hovering around .500. After he breaks that 65% threshold, lose the rest. Bench him, I don't care. Chances are good that the Jets are solid, and that pick would be in the 20s. But there is also a pretty strong chance that it's in the teens. Pretty outside shot of it being a top 10 pick, because if the Jets are playing that poorly, they'll bench Rodgers so they don't lose a high 1st.
  9. clancy has been on the Suter bandwagon even since the guy was drafted. It is very nice that Suter ended up defying his draft pedigree and making an impact for the Brewers, but at the same time, clancy has never stopped patting himself on the back for essentially "predicting" Suter's success. Case in point ... this article.
  10. I'd be extremely surprised if Frelick gets the call, especially since Perkins is hitting better, is probably a better defensive CF, and is already on the 40-man.
  11. *right now I have no doubt that the Cardinals will be in the thick of things. But that doesn't mean that I'm not enjoying the predictions that their starting rotation would be terrible coming true. They'll probably eventually find some no-name starter in the minors to come in and reel off 15 wins with a sub-3 ERA, and likely con some poorly-run team into handing over a top starter for peanuts at the deadline. It seemingly happens every year.
  12. Only cause the Reds are just a smidge more of a dumpster fire than the Cards right now.
  13. Hold up obviously isn't on Rodgers. I firmly believe that the Packers have attached a value to Rodgers, though, and are refusing to come off of it. As is their right. It's a little bit of a game of chicken right now. Some speculation out there of what the return package may look like, but nothing concrete. I give both teams credit for keeping most leaks under wraps.
  14. I have absolutely no doubt that they will figure it out, some no-name middle infielder named Skippy McGillicuddyson will matriculate out of thin air to hit .380 for them the 2nd half of the season, they'll con some team into handing them an ace and a closer at the deadline for a couple A-ball rejects, and they'll be in the hunt again come September. Because Cardinals.
  15. Frat bro-looking dude looks like he spends all of his off-time on the leg press machine. That might have something to do with it.
  16. The Ravens are the NFL's philosophical kings of the "bites at the apple" approach. Case in point - they by far lead the league in the number of compensation draft picks rewarded through the loss of free agents the last 20 years. It wouldn't really surprise me at all if they felt that they have reached their ceiling with Jackson as the starting QB, and would take picks and start over at the position, rather than hand Jackson a cap-crippling contract.
  17. I think the Packers have a set value on Rodgers, and they aren't willing to budge. As is their right. The Packers have both their chosen 2023 QB in Love, and a valuable commodity in Rodgers. I believe that the contract is SO bad because the Packers had to give in to Rodgers for him to agree to a multi-year deal instead of just going year-to-year and becoming a free agent. I think it was always the intention to deal him this offseason (actually I think there were people in the building that wanted to deal him LAST offseason, but Murphy stepped in and stopped it). I think it is obvious by this point that the Packers and Jets both know what the Packers are asking for in a trade. The Jets are simply dragging their feet, because they are concerned about the optics of "winning" the trade. From what I've heard of Joe Douglas, he's is kind of egotistical douche, so it makes perfect sense that he's trying to strongarm Gute. But the Packers hold more cards here. Yes, 2023 draft compensation would be nice, but if the Jets continue to drag their feet, the Packers can continue to let Rodgers sit until the end of August. And who knows what other interest might surface by then? All I know is that the Jets fanbase is getting antsy (after thinking for weeks they were getting Rodgers for the same package they got Favre for), and as a Packer fan, it's pretty exciting.
  18. It's WAY early, and the sample is extremely small, but if Anderson maintains this sort of production, he'd be a no-brainer qualifying offer candidate.
  19. I don't think Counsell would have given him game #3 of the season if he didn't believe those same things.
  20. You are obviously a baseball guy, but I believe you are missing the mark here. Lauer his looked like a dumpster fire every Spring Training for the Brewers, but other than his first season with them in 2020, he's been very good. Two years of solid regular season results negates crappy Spraint Training numbers.
  21. 3B WHOAHS SOLVD???
  22. MVP: Christian Yelich - we won't quite see the 2018-19 version of Yelich, but the 2023 version will be much improved. 25-30 HRs, 30 SB, .280-.300 BA, and an OPS approaching .900. CY Young: Eric Lauer - I've always been bullish on the guy. This is the year that Lauer makes the jump to a top-flight MLB starter. Rookie of the Year: Joey Wiemer. He is going to mash in Nashville, and won't be down for long. Will be the regular RF once up, and isn't going to give that role back for awhile. BA Leader: Luis Urias (.310). Shot in the dark, and maybe overly optimistic, but I've always liked him too. HR Leader: Jesse Winker (40) ERA Leader: Eric Lauer (2.24) SO Leader: Corbin Burnes (230) WAR Leader: Yelich (5.9) Breakout(s): Luis Urias, Eric Lauer, Wiemer, Gus Varland Disappointment(s): Garrett Mitchell is going to be electric when in the lineup, but he's going to struggle to stay healthy. Brian Anderson is replacement level, and also struggles with injuries. Bold Prediction (s): The Brewers make a big swing at the deadline, acquiring a resurgent Anthony Rendon from the Angels to shore up 3B. Record: 92-70 Playoffs? Yes, win the NL Central easily. Rest of the division is going to suck, as the Cardinals come back down to earth after overachieving last year, and the Cubs and Reds and Pirates scrape the bottom of the NL barrell. Brewers make it to the World Series. Not going any further than that.
  23. I'm not even sure this should be in blue. Dude always says he doesn't follow the media stuff, but I guarantee he is Googling himself every day in an effort to find even the slightest slight to motivate himself He's just spun a little (OK a lot) different.
